I've graduated from writing code. Now I direct AI that does.

I learned to build differently because I had to. Learning disabilities closed traditional paths—so I found my own. That pattern of finding alternative approaches became my superpower: seeing opportunities others miss, spotting waves before they crest, shipping when others are still debating.

This approach took me from self-taught programmer to Silicon Valley CTO. Two exits. Three times employee #1. Systems handling 10 billion transactions per day. And now AI—where I've been building Claude Code tooling for 18 months before Anthropic launched their own.

Today I operate at the frontier of AI-native development—writing specifications, not code. Directing autonomous AI agents, reviewing outcomes instead of pull requests. Most organizations are stuck bolting AI onto existing workflows and seeing productivity dip. I've redesigned the entire process—and I build the tools and infrastructure that help others make the same leap.

When I'm not coding or strategizing, you might find me exploring consciousness at Burning Man )'(, mentoring aspiring entrepreneurs, or diving deep into the latest AI research.
